Paul p. Hinchey, portrait painter, arrived
in the city from Arcadia Thursday morning
and will remain for several days. He was
here some time ago and executed some very
fine work in his line for different parties
around town.-Poplar Bluff Renovator.
John Butts, known to many citizens OF
this county, one day last week shot himself
through the hand with 49, caliber revolver,
while exhibiting the weapon for sale. We
trust the wound is not serious. Mr.. B.
is cerk;ng for II. n. Holiday at Williams
willie.
The approaches and abutments for the
new wagon bridge over Knob Creek are
completed, and ready for the iron super.
structure. That will be here in few days.
The contract was let to the same parties who
furnished the iron for the other bridge.
p. GARNER, Esq, has faced his premises
with brick sidewalk. 1t makes the gravel
structure adjoining it look sick, and causes
the sidewalker to long for the day when the
whole town may be brick side walked. Mr..
Carriers enterprise is commendable and
worthy of frequent and continued imitation.
We read that a twelve inch snow-storm
prevailed Friday and Saturday in Dacotah.
This explains the blizzard here which calls
for stoves, overcoats and winter dannels.

freezing-point Monday night, and stock
turned out to shift for themselves came up
barrels, buckets and tubs.

II you we've to tell those people who let
their horses and mules run st large within
the city limits that they are not good, law
abiding citizens, they would grow indignant
and likely proceed to prove the contrary ui
ct drmis. Yet we have an ordinance prohlb-
ing the very thing they do, which thing is ut
times really dangerous to those who rely
upon their safety through general obedience
to the law. Monday we saw drove of horses
and mules run up and down some Of the back
streets notably on that leading to the pub
lie school. 1t was but few minutes -Sfe
the closing of the school; little later, and
the troops Of children would have been in
imminent danger. Persons owning horses
or mules ought to keep them up and feed
them, and not try to make them forage their
living off the community.
